Lunar orbit position on 13 October 2093 Tuesday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠247.8°

This lunation true anomaly is ∠247.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠284.3°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).

Moon in apogee

Moon is reaching point of apogee on this date at 02:43, this is 12 days after last perigee on 1 October 2093 at 02:43 in ♒ Aquarius. Lunar orbit is starting to get closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth for 12 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next perigee on 26 October 2093 at 10:39 in ♑ Capricorn.
